"I
welcome you as family, Lucas. I am honored to be within it." the black man
said, Lucas smiling and walking up to him, hugging him and kissing his cheek.

"Harry's happiness joins you with my family, Alain. You are now a brother and
friend. Our hearts share secrets and love." he smiled, returning to his stove,
Alain's eyes looking at Harry, the young man staring at his cousin.

"Secrets, Luke?" Haras said, looking at both young men.

Lucas
smiled, stirring his pans.

"My
brothers and I had a talk last night. Brothers hold special bonds with each other."
he said, Alain and Harry smiling at him.

Haras
smiled, offering Harry and Alain a cup of coffee, the two men taking them with
thanks,
sitting down at the table with the babies.

The
two men at the counter continued to work on breakfast, Harry and Alain focusing
on the babies.

Within
half an hour Haras had prepared a mountain of toast and shredded all the cheese
for Lucas' omelettes and burritos,
Lucas smiling at him.

"I'll
awaken them with my love. We shall all return shortly." he smiled, Lucas smiling
at him.

"Take
your time. Morning love is wonderful."
The young man smiled, walking out of the room.

Lucas
smiled, the two at the table smiling at him.

"You
can feel their love, Luke. Its passion last night we both felt next door." Harry smiled,
Alain kissing his cheek.

"As I
felt in all the rooms last night." Lucas smiled, the two men softly blushing but
smiling.

Lucas
smiled, removing the last of his breakfast from the frying pans, tossing them into the
sink, placing the platters of food in the warming oven, along with the platter
of toast.

"There, all done. Now just to await the invading masses." he smiled, the young
man picking up his coffee mug, walking over to the table and sitting down with
his cousins.

The
two young men smiling at him, Lucas adjusting the blankets on his treasures,
both cooing and smiling.

"Thank
you for not voicing our discussion last night, Lucas." Harry said, Lucas' violet
pools meeting their blue and brown.

"I
told you both last night that now wasn't the time for truths of your hearts. We'll
leave that to the future." Lucas said, the two men staring at him, Harry's hand
going out, going on top of Lucas' which held his coffee mug.

"You
know all of it, don't you?"
"Yes, my cousins. I also know the love behind your choices. That is what's
important for both of you, and for myself. I see the love in both your eyes."

"Okay, son. My man needs a break in the kitchen.
He's already got lunch organized, we just have to pop it in the oven." he smiled, the three waving goodbye, meeting Trish and Andrew in the hallway, the
two waving goodbye to the two men, all five walking out of the house.

"It's time I was free, Josh. I need to love my man
and family in the open."

"Really, Jus?" Josh said, Justin nodding at him.

"Yes, Josh. I want to have the free love you have
with Lucas. Lance needs all of my love."
Josh nodded, looking into Justin's calm blue pools.

"That's a big step, Jus. You're still in the
central spotlight of fame. Lance and I are past that."
"I know where I am in life, Josh. I'm here with what matters to me. I love
acting, music and the industry. But I love all of you more. It's time the world
saw my love for Lance. And for our child."
Josh smiled at him, Justin smiling back.

"I've always known you're a man of courage and
love, Justin. I've never been more proud of you than I am now. Lance's love is
your love. As ours is yours as well. Lucas and I are both here for both of you."

Justin smiled, leaning in and kissing Josh's lips,
both feeling their unending love.

"How do you want to do this?"
Justin smiled, snuggling against Josh, his arm going around him again.

"I want to surprise both of them, Lance
especially. He's always voiced to me that I should do it when I feel it's the
right time for me. It's time. It's time I showed him and the world what he means
to me."

"I understand, Jus. Lucas said the same words to
me. And now I have his open love forever."

"Let's head upstairs. I need your beautiful love
against me. And I'll fill you in on my love's surprise."

Josh smiled, the two rising and walking upstairs,
their hands roaming on a voyage of stripping need.

Twenty minutes later Lucas and his friends were walking into a
private clinic in Los Angeles.

The receptionist smiled at all of their famous
faces, welcoming them, then taking medical information from them, the group sitting down in the
waiting room with forms to fill out, their infants in their carriers.

Lucas smiled at Lance, each sitting with an infant
beside them, Finn and Skyler with theirs.

A nurse walked into the waiting room a few minutes
later, smiling at
all four, Harry and Alain seated across from them.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Sheila, Dr. Carpenter's
nurse. Please follow me and we'll do the children's vital signs." she smiled,
shaking everyone's hands when the four parents rose from their seats, carrying
the carriers, the nurse leading them back into the examination rooms, Harry and
Alain remaining in the waiting room.

For half an hour the nurse took all their vital
signs, the four infants remaining relatively calm, their parents surrounding
them.

"A set of twins, how wonderful, Mr. Delaney."
Sheila smiled, taking each of their temperatures.

"No, we went through in vitro fertilization.
Little Justin is our own." he smiled, the woman nodding, Lance looking at Lucas,
the young man smiling at him with a soft wink.

"I did the same, myself. Joshua is my happiness."
he said, Finn and Skyler looking at both men.

"You are indeed blessed. Both are so remarkable.
Especially their eyes. It's rare to see different colors. It's called
heterochromatin, it's rare but well documented. It's just surprising that both
have it from different fathers." she smiled, staring at both infants, Lance and
Lucas holding both.

"It's a family trait in both our lineages." Lucas
smiled, the nurse smiling at him.
"Amazing. Well, all their vital signs are good. Normal heart rates,
temperatures, skin tone, breathing. They're all perfect." Sheila smiled,
looking around at all the parents.

"I had lunch with Pierce the other day. He
informed me of your new families. Simply amazing." he said, looking at Lance's
and Lucas' small infants.

"Different colored eyes. A rare trait. These boys
are special." he smiled, everyone smiling at him.

They all felt his calm welcoming friendship, the
man smiling at all four.

"Could I have a look at all of them? Let's
get personal, shall we?" he smiled, Lucas nodding, setting little Justy down on the
examination table, the baby gurgling up at his father.

For the next half hour the doctor looked over all
four infants, the man smiling and talking to all of them, they all seeing his
outgoing, calming manner.

He was well suited to being a doctor, his
personality was contagious.

"They're all amazing. No problems at all. All
healthy and robust. Especially little Josh and Justin. Amazing." the doctor
smiled, Lance and Lucas smiling at him.

"We've all been blessed." Lance said, the doctor
smiling at him.

"Indeed. Well, Sheila's taken their samples, we
should have the results in a week or so. For now there's nothing to worry about.
They all seem well developed and happy. Life begins for all of them." he smiled,
looking at Lucas.

"About the other matter, Felix?" Lucas said, the
doctor smiling at him.

"All completed and filed, Lucas. Pierce is a good
friend. My best friend."

Lucas smiled, nodding, Lance looking at him.

"What other matter, Luke?" he said, the doctor
smiling at the handsome singer.

"Pierce informed me of your amazing situation. I
don't know all of the details, but I see what's behind it." the man smiled,
looking at Lucas.

"The birth certificates are notarized, and
legalized. You should have them in a few weeks." the man smiled, Lance looking
surprised.

Lucas' hand went to his shoulder, Lance staring at
him.

"I talked to Pierce. Then I had a talk with
Harry. Paths join in many
ways." Lucas said, looking at the doctor, the man smiling at him.

"You are the one, Lucas. We shall follow your
love."

Everyone looked confused, Lucas smiling.

"Felix here is a Carlisle, a descendant of the
lineage. He is also a follower of the Brotherhood."

"I wouldn't call it forgery, Justin. Let's just
call it setting their lives on the right--and correct--path. They are our children, of our blood. Life and
the world needs to know that." he smiled, his three soulmates smiling at him.

"It will be nice to be able to be open and free
there with the kids. We can be ourselves with his private clinic." Lance smiled, Josh looking
at Justin, Justin kissing Lance's cheek.

"I'm going with you next time, Lancy. Our son
needs both of us." he said, Lance smiling at him.

"Josh and I are going to be on it as well.
You're invited too, Lancy." Justin
said, Lance looking surprised, Lucas looking at him.

"Me? Why me?" Lance said, Justin's arm going
around him and his son.

"Lucas and Josh are in the spotlight lately. Jimmy
thought it would be nice for both of them to appear together, surrounded by
friends. Plus it will be a
bonus for Joshy to be seen again with musicians. I'll be on as well, as the
first guest." he smiled, Lance nodding.

"A good idea, Jus. Their love shining with
Orion's. That'll be a good stepping stone for Josh's own return." Lance
smiled, Josh smiling at him.

"Me in the spotlight again. It's been a while."
he said, Lucas kissing his cheek, Josh taking Justy from his husband, cuddling the
child against his chest.

"My man's beauty surrounded by mine. The world
will see our love again." he smiled, Josh smiling.

"So we're singing on national television again?"
Trish smiled, Skyler smiling at her.

"My next guests are taking the music world by
storm. As well as taking the entertainment media by storm. Let's welcome. . .Orion!" Jimmy clapped, standing up.

Lucas, Finn, Skyler and Trish walked out from
behind the curtains, the applause loud, caterwauling and screaming heard.

The group sensed there were a lot of fans in the
audience.

The group waved, Jimmy shaking all their hands,
the four smiling, then hugging Justin, the man smiling at all four, Lucas
sitting down in the chair beside Jimmy's desk; Finn, Skyler and Trish sitting on
the couch, Justin at its end.

"Hello again, Orion. It's been a while. And your
success is growing." Jimmy smiled, Lucas smiling at him, his bandmates smiling
as well.

"Thanks for having us again, Jimmy." Finn smiled,
Jimmy smiling at the Welshman.

"Yes, our success is growing, but our friendship
remains unchanged. We're just four friends who sing their love to others." Lucas
smiled, the audience clapping, whistling and screaming heard.

"You have a large fan base now, Lucas. You're all
fast becoming the rising stars of music. What's ahead for you?" Jimmy asked,
smiling at the group.

"We all see your laid back friendships, Lucas. I
think that's what's drawn a lot of respect for you." Jimmy said, Lucas smiling.

"We're just ourselves, Jimmy. Orion is four of one
soul. We sing our soul out there every night. That's what our fans love." Lucas
said, his three bandmates agreeing with him.

The audience clapped again, Finn smiling at
Justin.

"It doesn't help that we have this taskmaster
whipping us every night." he said, Lucas laughing, Justin grinning.

"I have whips and chains." Justin yelled at the
end of the couch, the audience laughing and clapping.

Lucas smiled at Justin.

"We have a lot to thank Justin for. He's guided us
with love and friendship through all of it. He's more than a manager/taskmaster.
He's a friend." Lucas smiled at Justin, the man bowing his head in thanks, the
audience clapping again.

"He's been my friend for years, Lucas. He'd do
anything for you." Jimmy smiled, Justin waving at him with a smirk on his face.

"Yes, I've heard congratulations are in order. You
and Finn here were married at New Year's. And you're now the proud parents of
twins." Jimmy said, the audience clapping loudly, cheering heard, Finn and
Skyler smiled, his arm going around his wife.

"Yes, Jimmy. We're in love and we're a family
now." Finn said, Skyler smiling at him.

"I'm married as well, at New Year's as well. To
Andrew, our group's legal representative." she said, her eyes scanning the
audience, seeing her husband in the front row of seats.

She waved at him, the camera zooming in on him,
the audience clapping loudly again, Andrew blushing, blowing a kiss at Trish.

"Congratulations to all of you. You were married
together?" Jimmy asked, smiling at all three.

"Yes, Jimmy. On an island in the Caribbean. It was
a family affair for many." Skyler smiled, looking at Lucas, the young man
smiling at her.

"Sounds like a moving, wonderful time. How about
yourself, Luke? Your personal life, shall we say, is fodder for the media's
eyes." Jimmy said, smiling at the young man with friendship.

"Yes, so it appears. I'm dealing with it. All I
can be is myself. I'm thankful I have my friends and family to aid me. And I
have the love of my soulmate."
"Yes, we all have heard the news. J.C. has a lot of courage." Jimmy smiled,
Lucas smiling at him.

"He has even more love, Jimmy." Lucas smiled,
Jimmy smiling at Justin.

"We were all kind of shocked by his declaration,
Lucas."

"No one more than myself. I always told him to be
open about our love when he was comfortable with himself. I now see he's beyond
comfortable. His love's amazing." Lucas smiled widely, the audience clapping
again.

"Let's see that love, Lucas. Ladies and gentlemen,
let's welcome J.C. Chasez and another surprise. Lance Bass!" Jimmy said,
standing up, Josh and Lance walking out from behind the curtains, everyone on
their feet, the applause almost deafening.

Josh smiled, his handsome face staring out into
the crowd, Lance beaming as well.

The two looked beautiful in casual suits.

The two walked onto the set, their friends and
Jimmy hugging both, Lucas' arm going around Josh, the audience's sounds
increasing.

Lance and Lucas sat down on the couch beside Finn
and Skyler, Josh guided into the seat beside Jimmy, Lucas right beside Josh.

"Hello, guys. It's nice to see you again. Three-fifths of the former pop band N*Sync!" Jimmy smiled, the audience clapping
loudly again.
